Auction Power Guide

EBay is a good source of extra income. But I’m not sure where to find GOOD items to sell on eBay (buy low sell high). If any one who is selling on eBay would like to share extra info please email me. The consideration is appreciated.

wholesalers. international companies like china. i would first check what prices are going for so i can match what prices people are buying at, so i wouldnt overpay for something and trying to sell it out to lose money.

I want to be able to sell multiple ebay items at the same time. If somebody knows another option or way to go about this, please give me an answer.

The best option is to find a web host that will assist you in driving traffic to your business. Both inside ebay and outside of ebay. There are a few great web hosts that offer great services and assistance. I would recommend that you explore many options to ensure that you select the best match for your needs. You can take a look at the web host that I use as one of your options and comparisons. http://auctions.sitesell.com/UnstoppableDreams.html

I have $35,000 in credit card debt. I am unable to find work in Michigan except selling on eBay, which is how I amassed most of my debt. I did well for a couple of years, but loss of sources, increased competition and slow sales over the past 2 years have left me living with my parents and barely able to make my minimum payments. I am not using my credit cards at all, and literally have no money left after bills, food and rent. (I do pay rent, which helps my Mom – it was actually her idea that I move home.) According to the online credit calculators, at my current payments, it will take me more than 6 years to pay off all my cards, that is if I can find the money. Should I just go ahead and file Chapter 7, since I’m probably stuck at my Mom’s house for the next several years, and will be lucky to find a job at Target? Would a Chapter 7 hurt my chances at finding a crappy minimum wage job? After being self-employed four years, I don’t have the resume to get a good job anyway.

Yeah eBay’s new fees hurt tons of folks… Chapter 7 may be a GOOD idea at this point in time, but you need to talk to a lawyer about it, and it will cost a few grand to get everything done. But in the end, you wont have the credit card bill anymore. You need a GOOD lawyer because the way Chapter 7 is structured nowadays, some or all of your credit card debt may follow you forever – so a good lawyer will make sure that does not happen to you.

If you have a lot of stock left, and still have your eBay store running, even if limping along, you may want to instead look at selling your entire business – the eBay store, the stock and the business name. A pre-established business and someone with some fresh ideas may make a good match. Maybe someone will be willing to pay you $40k for everything or something like that.

Market research – Yes that right! This is the first step, you need to research your market may be I would call “spy” before start selling. You should know what average price on the market, how popular for the product, how many competition seller are there. You may need some tools if you have a lot of product and have a huge selling per month. But you can use basic tool on eBay like watcher in my eBay panel and Advance search, it’s enough! One more tools is your feeling.

Find keywords and related

Ok now start Basic marketing research go to eBay click on advance search on the top right. I make an example I would like to sell an Xbox ok now I enter Xbox and click on search. Then see the results you will see relate keywords make note of that. It very important keywords is most of how to your customers found your products. Example for Xbox relates keywords is Xbox console, Xbox system, Xbox Game, Xbox 360 system etc. Remember keywords are the mostly important for online auction selling.

Find categories

Second chance how do they find your production is categories on your listing if you would like to sell Xbox but you list your product in shirts categories nobody would buy it at all. You have to choose your product to match with your categories before list your items, it the one of the best way to aim at the buyer target. To find categories form the first step on search result page you will see the suggest category by automatically. Then use one of category that you think it mostly match with your products. For Example if want to sell Xbox system I will sell at Video Games> Systems. If I want to sell Xbox wireless controller I will sell at Video Games> Accessories categories.

Find competitor

Select about 2-5 seller for spy and learn from they strategies Do not directly copy you will not make any deal if you follow they strategies because many of reason like feedback may be that you do it will help them to make more selling because customers has same product to compare. You should make you own way but learn from them use strong side and improve weakness side. Ok what you should really do find production to same to you or similar from two group of seller first from power seller and one seller that have a lot of bidder then watch of they listing product. From power seller you would watch time of listing, listing period like 3 days 7 days that upon product, listing frequency, start price, average ending price, picture etc. From many of bidder seller you would suggest how could do they bring many bidder to they auctions mostly is from cutting price but not all, some make free shipping etc. Use that strategies with power seller strategies and mix it together. If you can’t not find any relate seller that similar with your product you may lucky if you are the first man of the market and customers want you product it will be the incredible fortune.

Calculating

After you find 3 things for now you would got a lot of information. And now start calculation how much for buy and sell price. Don’t for get eBay listing Fee and Final Fee. Shipping price, payment methods and transaction fee. I highly recommended to using Paypal for major accept payment you would accept cashier’s check and money order for some of buyer. You may say transaction Fee and auctions listing Fee is a bit of money Yes, you right but imagine if you have a lot of sell it will not a bit of money at all all of any fee is important calculate it carefully.

Goal and Analytic

Plan your Goal before you start selling. How many products you will sell per weeks or month how much for profit per each, per month analyze from information that you got before. Then start selling be follow your plan and enjoy.
